It's fake and my records go back to 2014 for reporting fakes from beautifulthings78-us, and at least 6 separate times and in every year including and since 2014.

She also has this fake:

Thank you. How does the seller have 100% positive feedback?!

There can be a number of reasons. The following reasons are NOT complete; just a few reasons.
1. Many buyers don't know they got a fake
2. Many buyers don't leave feedback
3. If a buyer knows she got a fake and gets an easy refund, she may be reluctant to neg a seller.
4. If a listing is removed as fake, the buyer can't leave feedback if it wasn't left prior to the removal.

And with regard to beautifulthings78-us, this is another sold listing that I'd like @whateve and @Hyacinth to check out. I found this while looking through the seller's other current and completed listings.

I'm not comfortable with the creed font and stamping. I think it's wrong for the 1995 C plant.upload_2018-12-10_19-37-32.png upload_2018-12-10_19-37-32.png upload_2018-12-10_19-37-32.png :

The underscore under the letter o is too long. Also the font for the numbers are too round.

The Reply feature is buggy tonight, I'm getting a download window that I can't manipulate at all, so no photos from me until it starts working correctly again.

But I agree, it's fake. Both because of the fonts, which are close but still wrong, and especially because that style wasn't even officially introduced until Spring 1997

Hi All! I won the auction already, so just wondering about it. I haven’t received it yet. I was insomnia surfing in the middle of the night and I saw this chocolate brown bag (my weakness) and bid. Any help on what style this is would greatly be appreciated. Thanks so much for your time and help [emoji4]

Item: Not sure, my apologies.
Listing number: 302979790312
Seller: gone2dogz
Link: https://www.ebay.com/itm/Vintage-Co...b00b5e8:g:LQQAAOSwEwhcAq73#vi__app-cvip-panel
Comments: I was looking for a bag a little bigger than the Baxter and this reminded me of it in a way. Thanks again

Item: Not sure - I thought this was a Willis bag too, but it definitely looks a little different.
